Here is the summary of BOB Revolution Stroller reviews that I read on many websites and everyone seems to agree:
- It looks great and I get tons of compliments.
- This is all in one baby stroller!
- It’s a great jogging, mall, walking etc stroller
- It is not too big, but it is not too small (like a mall stroller that is usually is too light and good for a baby, but not very good and stable for a toddler).
- It folds up easy, but it doesn’t stand up while folded which is ok if you have enough space in your garage or house to store it.
- It need 2 steps to fold it and a little strength to unfold (you kind of have to throw it).
- Nice suspension makes the roughest terrain smooth.
- We take it everywhere from mall to outdoors. It’s so smooth and turns on a dime. I recommend the beverage holder…it’s really usefull and handy.
Parents look for a slightly lighter Revolution with a more compact fold (but less jogging potential) should check out the BOB Revolution 12″ AW, with three 12″ aluminum wheels instead of 16″ rear wheels. If you have two kids, or like having plenty of extra room, take a peek at the two seater BOB Revolution Duallie double stroller, which is also car seat compatible.
Recommendation for Car seat: Graco because it fits in almost every stroller/car seat adapter . Graco SnugRide is the most recommended because it’s light and it’s not big and will fit into the shopping cart also. Graco SafeSeat is nice too but it’s heavier and much bigger. Yes, SafeSeat model fits larger babies and you can use it for longer than SnugRide, but would you want to carry a 30 pound baby around? Maybe not. So I suggest use SnugRide till baby is 22 lbs and then switch to a convertible or toddler seat which hold a baby from 22 lbs up to about 60 lbs. You can put your 6 months old baby directly into the stroller without the car seat. Snuzzler will make your baby very comfortable and happy too 🙂
Changes to the BOB Revolution for 2007:
- New colors
- Increased seat recline to 70 degrees off vertical
- More seat padding
Recommended extras
- Infant car seat adapter (look for one with tray)
- Snuzzler (Kiddopotamus & Co Snuzzler Complete Head And Body Support For Any Seat)
- Handlebar console
- Weather shield revolution (if it rains or snows often when you have your baby).
- If you have travel plan, get the “BOB Stroller Travel Bag Black”
Bottom Line: The BOB Sport Utility Stroller strikes the ideal balance between a walking stroller and a jogging stroller. It more weighs and has less storage than most travel system strollers, but good luck taking one of them out for a jog – or even over some dirt trails. With the Revolution, you can manage any terrain with total ease, and it has a one-of-a-kind adjustable tracking system for jogging. Altogether, you have one of the best all-purpose strollers ever produced. You should buy BOB Revolution Stroller
